AProtective Bag (originally just called abag)^[1] is an object present inKirby's Dream Land 2, often found in rooms containingmid-bosses. Once all foes guarding the bag have been defeated, the bag will drop if it was hanging from a chain and open up, revealing one ofKirby's friends. Usually, this will be eitherRick,Kine, orCoo, but if Kirby is already with the friend that is being rescued,Gooey or theGirl blob (Chao in the Japanese version) could also appear from a bag. If Kirby touches the bag before the foes are defeated or if the bag lands on him, it will knock him back as if he was hurt, but deal nodamage.

InKirby Star Allies,Rick & Kine & Coo andGooey use Protective Bags whenguarding, referencingKirby's Dream Land 2. Gooey can also use this technique inKirby Fighters 2. Additionally, one of theStone ability's transformations inKirby Star Allies andKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a statue of Rick, Kine, and Coo emerging from a Protective Bag.

In theKirby novel series[edit]

In theKirby novel series, a Protective Bag appears inKirby: Save the Rainbow Islands! as a knitted pouch thatPick wears around her neck. Pick givesRick the pouch she wore as a good luck charm. To restrainPirika,Meta Knight andKing Dedede after their defeat, the group stuffs them in the pouch, which can stretch into a bigger size. When Meta Knight and King Dedede regain their consciousness, they burst out of the pouch, releasing Pirika too. At the end of the story, Rick thanks Pick for giving him the pouch.
